Working in Partnership

 

Background
MSJ as part of its Strategic plan 2008 -2013 committed itself to work in partnership with other youth and community organisations. Currently MSJ youth services are active participants in partnership work, and though this is not an exhaustive list the partners below provide valuable support in our work with young people:

 

Our school based programmes -

Manor St. John Youth Service started running after-school creative, educational and diversionary programmes for young people in 1998 and we are still running them today. Hundreds of children and young people have taken part in computer education programmes, school newsletter design courses, digital photography courses and Internet Safety Awareness training. St. Saviour’s National School, St. Paul’s Boys National School, St. Paul’s Community College and the Presentation Girls National School are just some of the Waterford schools we work with.
